Broomfield is a suburb on the western side of Christchurch, New Zealand.
The suburb is named for an estate farmed by Rev. James Wilson (1813–1886), which he named after a place near Leith in Scotland. The estate was subdivided in 1908, and the suburb was named in the 1970s. Most of the housing has been built since 2010.
State Highway 1 runs through the suburb, and State Highway 73 forms its northwestern boundary.
